Heavy Metal

Back in 1990 I was a young boy into heavy metal music, so when I heard there was a game by this name I asked some friend if he could copy it to me. The guy warned me "dude, it's got nothing to do with metal music", but I was a stubborn naive boy, and I didn't listen to him. It served me right... It was a pretty nice game though in hindsight, but I've never been into simulations and I still can't handle its controls too well. The intro sequences were pretty cool!

It was a sequel to Desert Fox. I liked the graphics, but gameplay was quite simple. Nothing special, but entertaining for a short while.

This was a pretty fun game. Basically, it was 3 games in one. You were in command of a "unit" consisting of anti-aircraft, fast attack vehicles, and tank formations. On a strategic map, you would deploy forces and have them engage enemy forces. You could either let your units fight the battle, or take control for more effect. At the end, the kill ratio determined your score. Lots of fun!
